For the Beauty of the Earth is a pretty familiar hymn especially if you love the most recent movie rendition of Lousia May Alcott's Little Women. If you remember this hymn is sung at Meg's wedding, everyone is holding hands circling and singing this beautiful hymn, full of thankfulness and praise for God's creation and blessings...

Just a little reminder of thankfulness today...Have a listen

For The Beauty of The Earth
by: Folliott S. Pierpoint

For the beauty of the earth,
For the beauty of the skies,
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies,
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our grateful hymn of praise.

For the beauty of each hour
Of the day and of the night,
Hill and vale, and tree and flower,
Sun and moon and stars of light,
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our grateful hymn of praise.

For the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child,
Friends on earth, and friends above,
Pleasures pure and undefiled,
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our grateful hymn of praise.

For each perfect gift of thine,
To our race so freely given,
Graces human and divine,
Flowers of earth and buds of heaven,
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our grateful hymn of praise.

For thy Church which evermore
Lifteth holy hands above,
Offering up on every shore
Her pure sacrifice of love,
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our grateful hymn of praise.
